  2. Those are correct for a 6th gen...don't know about a 5th gen. Push in the pistons with a pry bar and the old pads?

    What a perfectly beautiful restoration! You sir are quite talented...
  5. Mapping seems much more responsive than Google maps...I'm sure it's because of the user load difference...

  8. If you have to ask this question, you are not understanding the joy of what he is doing... I am saving up for the HARD unit because I lost the willingness to do something like this back in my childhood somewhere...
  9. I bought the Bosch filters last time on Amazon for my CB1R...turns out they are a little longer than stock even though I got the "short" ones. Just had to get longer bolts for the filter cover...
  10. Oops's your that's dino.. The Doc is right... Rotella T6 5w-40 is full synthetic, the Rotella T 15w-40 is dino diesel engine oil. What XRCRIS posted was his report from a sample of Rotella T 15w-40 dino oil And since it IS the Rotella T and not synthetic, it is all the more impressive!
  11. T6 synthetic is 5w-40, the T is 15w-40 like the report specifies...
  12. +1 Looks like your engine likes the Rotella T. Have you been always running that oil? That is the non-synthetic, right? Oh, and what is your usual change interval and filter brand?
  13. Most of my track sessions have been 20-30 minutes...not very long (I'm not a racer). What I think is more important is how much speed is being carried into the corners repeatedly (with hard braking and throttle) and how many heat cycles the tires are subjected to during the day.
  14. I see those numbers posted often. Those are stock pressure settings and not ideal for twisty work. Perfect for commuting and such but definitely not what I would run if you are throwing the thing through turns with anger. 32/32 is still really low for the street. Street use is where the manufacturers design the tires for, and they design them to work their best at 36/42. For the track lower pressures are fine, but unless you are going fast to the point where you are backing it in every corner, there isn't much of a reason to run 10psi lower. A couple psi down maybe. Completely agree with this...If you are over riding your tires with stock or close to stock pressures ( with good tread, sorted suspension, and dry conditions), then you need to take it to the track as you are being a menace on the road...IMHO. Of course the other reason is that your inputs are NOT smooth...even though you're not going that fast. EDIT: I routinely start out with 30/30 psi at the track on PP rubber...and adjust as needed
